Re: [Zope] mixing python and DTML is hellish!

I don't actually agree with that. I reckon once ZPT starts appearing in more books, you'll see newbie's using it more and understanding it more easily than DTML.

My empirical experience has been that DTML reminds you of the way PHP, ASP, JSP etc. works: <input value="<?%= variableName %?>"> ZPT takes a sligthly different approach.

This is certainly true.

Secondly, ZPT "code" tends to be a bit longer (in amount of characters) and Python advocates don't really like this.

Hmmm, I think if short code was more important than clarity to them they'd be using Perl. ;) -Doug -- Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees. --T. J. Jackson, 1863
